Good day everyone,
We are currently in the process of reaching out to the community as part of an effort to leverage CGB's unique position and talent pool into our "on the ground" efforts. It will be very difficult in one brief post to catch you all up on where CGB is at and why we need more help. Let me quote from the
CGB Core Team Weekly Update of June 4, 2014:
Our intent is to position CGB as a leader in the facilitation of cryptocurrency adoption at businesses with physical establishments. This means that CGB will have to be more than just a currency, it will have to come wrapped in a suite of tools and services which allow it to adapt to any use case. With this relationship under constant development, CGB will become part of the foundation used to build each CryptoTown, as could any cryptocoin project that wishes to participate to such an extent. This vision can only be achieved through a meaningful commitment by talented individuals throughout the cryptosphere and, as we have discussed, through an expansion of the CGB Core Team. There is a very large amount of work to be done and we believe it could optimally be handled by an additional 3 developers. We hope to create a collaborative environment which is even more inclusive than our current structure and a new organizational chart will be developed to this effect to better express the ways in which talented individuals may help out.
While we don't expect these positions to be filled immediately, we are appealing to the entire cryptosphere in the hopes of attracting candidates looking to help lead the charge with us. In addition to a CGB-CryptoTown tool developer, we wish to dedicate efforts to GUI and usability amongst our tool suite (with focus on the wallet software). Also, our community has put forth many excellent ideas which have been captured and assessed, but we have lacked the resources required to begin implementation. This includes changes to CGB's core protocol and client software capabilities. We would gladly welcome skilled candidates who are able to work on this or the other areas of development.
This recent push hinges on the
CryptoTown On The Ground project which aims to create a feedback loop between software and protocol (deployment and use) development and the ongoing face-to-face adoption efforts "on the ground." We believe this to be the next logical step for the cryptosphere as a whole. Let's make it happen!
Interested developers (or other talent) are asked to reply with interest or questions. Feel free to PM myself or
